I have a Mallory and don't know how old it is!

Here are a couple of pictures that I took of a Mallory fedora I recently purchased. I'm interested in finding out the age of this fedora. It needs to be whisked, however, there are no flaws. The woman I bought it from said it is as it came from the hat store and was never worn.

It is a gorgeous dark chocolate brown. Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.

Here's the last image as we're only able to post 10 at a time!

nice hat!

I believe the back-bow style was popular in the middle 1950s. In the film "The Sound of Jazz" almost every musician is wearing a hat with this ribbon/bow treatment. The film was made in 1957

Thank you very much Baron! The only thing it's missing is a nice bash.
